Donny Hathaway worked as an arranger on the album.[6]
Billboard deemed The Young Mods' Forgotten Story a "smooth soul sampler of choice tunes."[7] Colin Larkin called it "quintessential," writing that it "set the framework for [Curtis Mayfield's] solo work."[2] The Edmonton Journal, reviewing a reissue, wrote that "the music, save for touches of wah-wah and (prescient) proto-funk on 'Mighty Mighty', was in many ways a step behind similar groups of the time."[8]
